Ha may institute temporary tribunals lo administer justice. He may preserve the penoe, prevent anarchy, and sioo that justice is done to all. In a word, he may and must govern the country in its transition state from a rebel to a loyal oon- lition, or until Long res a provides by law for its government, or until the people organize loyal Slate frovernmonts aud are readmitted into the Union. These principles are sanctioned by the Supreme Court in ihe California oaso. so often cited in this House. Theso powerB or most of them the Presi dent has exercised in Louisiana, in Arkansas, and in Tennessee. Ho has done this under tlie advice and with the aid of such men ft4 Andrew Johuson, Generals Butler and Itaukti; and the results are beginning tho people of these Btates to return to the Union. WHAT ABB THE POWERS OF COIN U BESS? Congress may and ought to paB all laws which may be necessary to carry into effect tho lKiwcr lodged in th Executive to admin ister fur tho time being the foverumont of tlie torntory in rebellion. Congress may regulate the muuu of administration. It may control tho method of governing the t territory. Each House ul Congress has the i exclusive power to determine and iudge of the election, return, and qualifications of its own members, ana may of eourso determine when to admit or reject representatives from the rebel States. 1 think it requires tho concurrent notion of both tho Kxeoutive and Congress for complete restoration of rebel and revolted States into the Union, TUB AMNESTY PROCLAMATION. The President, In oomniunicttling the am nesty proclamation to Congress, invites the aid. counsel, and co-operation of Congress In restoring national unity. This proclamation of amnesty looks to the reestablish-ment of loyal State governments in the rebel territory on the basis of freedom. It offers peace on the surrender by the rebels or tne cause oi mo war tiavery, i'rnctt oally it is already dissolving the rebel or- ganiiation. Hundreds of rebel soldiers are daily bringing in and laying down their anus anu accepting tne terms of pardon, The adjutage of this proclamation are the Government has offered to the rebels peace and good wilt, and upon the sole con dition that they should lay down thmr arms. This otter has been met with miorn and de fiance. The President nowofl'ers peace ud- tho condition that the insurgents submit and give up slavery. They are asked to abandon that whioh has been a curse alike to them, to us, to all. Humanity and Chris tianity pray that these humane, generous, magnanimous terms may he accepted. This cruel war will not stop; this rebellion will never.be sanctioned as revolution. The loyal people of the United States, if these terms are rejected, will demand that the diseased limb be amputated. They have hem very slow to anger, but tbey are now thoroughly aroused, aud it wilt aoon be difficult to appease their just rage. The loyal people preferred peace to war, but they are rapidly acquiring a taste for war's fierce excitements and its duszling glory., They are an indomitable race of men, the descendants of those who conquered England, Ireland and Scotlund, and who have ihemselves never been conquered. Ou this continent they have conquered the forests, subduml the Indian tribes and wrested from England their independence. If driven lo it, they will exterminate the soft, pampered, sensual, slave aristocracy which make up the rebel leaders. The time is rapidly approaching whoa the loyal people will say to the rebels, "We have tried to conciliate yom we have offered you terms; you rejeot them with scorn; you hate and defy us; you refuse any terms of peace. Be it so. We accept the issue. We will treat you as enemies; wo will conquer you, and liberating your slaves we will divide your lauds among ihoiu, the pour whites and our brave soldiers. Henceforth you aro sub- jeois, uo longer to be treated as citienns. The President does not yet Bay tins; on tho ooutrary, his treatment is lo-dny as it has been from tho beginning, generous, Immune and msgoauimous, such as is becom- ug the head ot a great and Christian na tion. Ho oners poaoe ou tho conditions that the rebels submit, givo up slavery, and accept frcodom. He offers the blessings of rinn.ee una proMperity, only requiring the surrender of that terrible oil ran, which has brought upon us and them all the horrors of his war. is slav Kit y naxn? Tlio distinguished gentleman from New Yurlt. r.Mr. lirooks, I produced a creut sen sation the olhor day by announcing that la very was already doad. i uo not know whether we were so muoh startled by the fact, as that that gentleman should be the rst lo announce it. Like some others who lag far bohind in the chase, he seemed determined to be in ut the death. But I am not yet wilting to admit the fact that sla very is dead. I rejoice to know that it is n a dying condition, but it lias not yet i veu up the ghost. Lot tne "Jiml-bpUtttr of Illinois give the cursed monstur a few more vigorous blows, and make its destruction certain. Possibly the gentleman from New York might havu been pluying a game familiar to western hun-tors; he, or the institution which lie leclaros dead, might have been play- nr- pottum. But to assume a tone more becoming a subject so grave, let me remind he geutleman from rsow York, who is a scholar, and familiar with history, that iu tbe days cf Oliver Cromwell it was supposed monarchy was doad in England. Yet but a few years passed by, and Charles the ecund was on the throne of Lntrianu, and monarchy in full sway, stronger apparently ban bo I ore the . execution of Charles the irst. God Dave our country from the re turn of the slnve kings. God save us from ever seeing the destinies of this nation pass again into Iho hands or slave mongers. Therefore I am for taking security for the future by immediately abolishing tlavrry, and amending the Constitution prohibiting its existence forevwr in tvery part of the L'nioti. Btit if slavery is indeed dead, why do not its friends, those who have stood by it, in sunshine and in storm, why do they not now pronounce its eulogy? It wis a kin or in the lund. It wa:' a ruler in those Halls, and lord paramount in yonder Executive Mansion. If dead, where are itB friends and mourners? If your idol is dead, is it not decent for you at least to seoiu to mourn? But, Mr. Chairman, this great revolution is not yet ended. Would to God it were. The storm still rages; dangnrs and diflicul-tics still overshadow tlie future. Much remains to bo done, to subdue rebut armiori, to maiutain national credit, to hold the loyal people united, to preterve liberty and law, and reconstruct the edifice of constitutional liberty. A task is before us, taxing to the utmost, all we have of skill and bravery in tho field; of wisdom and integrity, and patriotism and statesmanship in the cabinet, before we can feel that our country "hat weaihered tlu storm," and "all is wetl.'' Our greatest danger arises from insaue divisions among ourselves. With Lincoln at the helm of State, with Grant commanding our armies, and Chase, holding the scarcely Ions difficult and responsible position at the head of the Treasury, and a cordial union of the friends of those great leaders and all loyal men, our suocess is certain. training of the schools; it was better.

LINCOLN TUB APOHTLK OV LIDBHTV. It is his missiou to restore national unity, on the basis of universal liberty. He is to lead Uie people through this revolution and preservo the old safeguard of freedom oin-bodied in Mucna Charta and the Constitu tion of the United States.

Every man equal before tho law. Every man en-loving liberty of speech, the freedom of the press, tral by jury, and the writ of Harnp Vurpui. WHO VfBRB HIS COM 1'HTl TORS ? Some twenty years ago, there gathered around the plain, pine tables of the frontier court-houses of central Illinois a very re markable combination of men. Among mem. unu conceumiy tueir leader, was Abraham Lincoln; Stephen A. Douglas, his great political rival; Lyman Trumbull, chairman of the judiciary committee of the Son-ate; E. I). Baker, the able, the eloquent senator, soldier, and martyr to liberty; Gen. James Shields, who won a high reputation at Washington, and on the battlefields of Mexico; Gen. John J. Hardin, an able and eloquent lawyer, who fell on the bloody field of Buena Vista; James A. Mc-Bougal, the present Senator from California; William A. Hiohardson, present Senator from Illinois, and Gen. John A. Mc-Cloarnand, now in the field. Besides theso was the late Gov. Bisselt, whose manly vindication of the bravery of the Illinois vol-! un leers in Mexico, against the aspersions of Jefferson Davis, will bo well remembered; a vindication which resulted in a challengo from the t raitor Davis, which was accepted by I UI8SPU, nut irom wmcn uavis backed down, it. is BaLd undor the advice of Gen. Taylor. These men, of national reputation, and others equally able, but whoso pursuits have been 'confined at bomp. wero the oompetU tors with Lincoln. These were the men in coutest with whom Abraham Lincoln was trained for the terrible ordeal through whioh he is passing. t-0NTi;SX BETWEKV LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS. The contest between Lincoln and Douglas, iu 1S58, was the most remarkable in Amerioan history. They were the acknowl edged leaders, each of his party. Both, men of great and marked individuality of character, ine prize was, tue benatorship of the great btate of Illinois, and tho success of the Republican or Ue moo ratio party. Duuglas had the additional stimulont of the Presidency in view. These two trained leaders mot, at designated places, and in tho presence of immense orowds ot people, debated tue great questious at issue. Douglas went through this campaign like a conquering hero, tie had his special train of oars, hs bund of musio, his bodyguard of devoted fiieuds, a cannon carried on the train, the firing from which announced bis approach to the plaoe of meeting. Such a canvas involved, necessarily, very large expenditures, and it has been said that Douglass did not expend less than $50,000 In this canvass. Some idea of tbe plain, simple, frugal habits of Mr. Lincoln may be gathered, when 1 toll you that at its olose, having occupied several months, Mr. Lincoln said, with tho idea, apparently, that ho had been somewhat extravagant. "I do not believe I have spent a cent loss than five hundred dollars in this oanvass. Senator Douglas was at that time the loading debater in the United States Senate. Ho had been accustomed to meet fur years in Congress the trained leaders of the na tion, and nevor, cithor in single combat, or taking the tire or a whole party, bad he been discomfited. He was bold, defiant, confident, aggressive; tortile in resources, terrible in denunciation, familiar with political history, practiced in all controversial discussion, of indomitable physical and moral courage, and unquestionably the most formidable man in the nation on the stump. Tho friends of Mr Lincoln were not without misgivings when the ohallenge was given and accepted for a campaign with Douglas, on the stump. Mr. Lincoln was cool, candid, truthful, logical, never betrayed Into an nn fair statement; and it was wonderful how, iu these discussions, as in every other aot of his public life, he has Impress" ! the peoplo with hiB honesty and fairness. Every hearer ol theso debates went away with the conviction, whatever his political views, "Lincoln believes what he says, he is candid, and he would not misstate a fact, or take an unfair advantage to secure a triumph." He had on? advantage over Douglas. He was always good-humored. He had always his apt story fur illustration, and while Duuglas was sometimes irritable, and would lose his temper, Liuooln never lost his. Douglas carried away tbe most popular anDlause. but Lincoln made the deeper and more lasting impression. Douglasdid uot disdain an immediate triumph, while Lincoln lnnlced to Dormanent conviction. Lhmgias addressed the feelings and prejudices with a power and adroitness never surpassed. Lincoln stated his propositions aud proved their truth with irresistible logic Dnug-las carried the majority of the Leg islature of Illinois, but Lincoln uaa tue majority of the popular vote. Douglas secured the Sontitorship, and Lincoln gained the Presidency. The wondoriui endurance of these men, both of Iron constitutions, was strikingly manifest during this contest.

Here I will pause a moment to state a most remarkable prediction made by Doug las in January, lbbl. Iho statement is lu lushed to me by General C. B. StuwarL ol New Tork, a geutlcmau of tho highest re spectability. Douglas was asked by Colonel Stewart, (who wus making a INow lears call uu Mr Douglas,) "What will be the result of the eflorts ot jeuerson imvisand his associates to divide tho Uuiou?' Douglas replied, "The cotton States are making an etturt to draw in the border States lo their schemes of secession, and I am too fearful they will succeed. If they do succeed, there will be the most terrible civil war the world lias ever seen, lasting for years. Virginia will oooome a enamel iioune; but the end will be tho triumph of the Uuion cause. Ouo ol thoir first ctl'oris will be to take possession of this capital io give them prestige abroad, but (hey will never succeed in taking it; the North will rise en mats to defend it; but it will become a ciiy ot uotmitalt; the churches will be used for the sick aud wounded; and even this house and the Minnesota block (now the Doualas Iospital) may be devoted to that purpuse before the end or the war." uenerai Stewart euqirea "What justification is there for all this?'' Douglas replied, "There is no justification nor any pretence of any. If they will remain iu the Union I will go aa fur as the Constitution will permit to maintain their just rights, and I do not doubt but a majori ty of Lougiess win uo-nue same. jw, said he, rising on his feet and extending hiB arm, "if the southern States uttempt to secede from this Union without further cause, I am in favor of their having just so many slaves, and just sfrmuch slavetcrri-ti-iy, as they can hold at the point of tlie bayonet ami no more.-On the 4th of March thereafter, surround ed by spies and traitors, tlie treasury robbed, the army and navy dispersed, knowing scarcely who to trust, the President, took possession of the White House, and entered upon his duties. On ono side the Capitol .was Virsiuia, with her disloyal militia guarding the Long Bridge, ripe for revolt, and ready from tlie heights of Arlington and tho Potomac to bombard tho Capitol. Detween it aud the loyal Suites lay Maryland, ready to riBO. in arms the moment tho rebel nag wns unfurled ; nay not waiting for this, but rising aud burning bridges, tearing up railways, and murdering Union soldiers on their way to deteud Washington. The seat of Government was thus isolated iu the midst of a hostile people. Couaress had ad journed, and the late of the nation and of liberty rested upou the 1 resident, lie was equal to tho occasion. He was wise as he was tirm. lie Bavcd the capital and he preserved the nation. Contrast tho condition of our country then and now, witb more than bait tbe territory then in rebellion re claimed, aud deny if you can that Abra ham Lincoln has high administrative pow-erB. It has been wetl said of him iu view of his administration, remembering the past and looking to the future, "ihe people kuow the necessities of the hour and appreciate the man who is at ihe helm. Thy trust him. By masterly action and by mas terly inaotioD, this Sagt a id hero from the tho back woods has emmindcd tho entire confidence of a great people; of a people the most intellectual aud torciblo upon the earth." It is not my purpose to speak in detail ol the acta of this administration. Tluro ere a few general considerations iu regard to tt, to whioh 1 ask the oaudid cousiaoraiion oi the countvv. First, our forelgu relation, f(,w will deny, have been mana'rd with ability and success throuah a period of extreme diffi culty and danger. Whatever exception and criticism may justly uu made upon par- ticuur dispatches, the result has bten peace. and non-iutervention. aud thus far, the couutry is sat is tied that a cool, wiso and sa gacious beau is at the helm. 1 lie govern ment has been so administered as lo secure the substantial union and harmony of the Inval people ot all parties. This has been done timidbt all the passionate excitementand turbulent tooling jrrowtngoutot civil war. It has been accomplished, during a period iu uiou tue President has necessarily cxer- i oised the extraordinary power of summary arrests, suspension of tbe Haieae uorpu, and the suppression or disloyal and treasonable publications by military power, all of (hem nets whiuh could not hut receive' the most searching scrutiny, of a peoplo like oms, bo jealous of their liberties. YcC the great mass ot the people have tclt perteot conti nence in the iutcgrily and patriotism aim Chiokahominy inio the hero of ihe Missis- sippi; but this same uiiNtvioteristic. it h rtu suited in many reversta to the Army of the t'otomac, has given us Vioksbum and Look out Mountain, and will, I trust, ere lanv. secure our complete triumph over the rebel armies. But to return to the proclamation. It haa been objected to this proclamation, that it di-1 not embrace all the territory in rebellion. For myself, I have always regretted that It did not include all the States in re volt. But I believe tbe truth is, this waa he remit of the advice of loval men of tha border States. For iustanoe, I believe that he man most influential ia preventing the great State of Tennessee from being designated in this paper was the patriot and statesman, Andrew Johnson; aud I believe to-day he regrets more than any other roan, imr. it was tett out. rot, who wiu blame he President for listening with deference to he advice of Andrew Johuson in regard to Tennesaee? The employment of negro soldiers needs to-day no vindication. All sanotion and pnrove it, and they themselves are gal lantly fighting their way to the favor of the country. ihe amnesty proclamation, although as sailed by easily ists and politicians, is work- g out practically us own vindication. Hundreds of rebel soldiers are daily bring- g in, and laying down their arms, lu e wost it is dissolving tbe rebel armies. Undor its influcnoe, Louisiana, Tennesxoe, unu Arkansas, will soon return as free States. The da' that sees these States again iu the Union as free, loyal States, witl seethe beginning of the end of this bellton. Under tho innuenos of this proclamation, with such changes as experi ence may suggest, or as Congress may establish, or sanction, we may hope to see the rebel territory all restored, and our great country redeemed frum the ourseof slavery. imruutyasa loynt people may be expressed in four worue, for three of which f havo to thuuk my friend from Maine (Mr. l'lKCj. vi e must unite, JMn, tax. ana eman cipate. But let us not disguiso from ourselves that the cututng year is one fu'l of peril. The danger is not all iu the direotiou from which it is most apprehended. A nation without a government is, as Alexander Hamilton snld, "an awful spectacle."There are dangerous elements in our midst and a presidential election in (he mid fat of a civil war, vill try the oapaoity of the people for self-government as tbey have never been tried before We are iu the midst of rushing torrents of opinion and passion dangerous, aud difficult to control. We are tossing on the billows of a raging sea. Anxious friends of liberty are every whero asking, will the great American Republic strand for want of order and rulo l Confidence in our success has been continually increasing. Is it wise to change our leader in the midst of this storm, and while alt the world is admiring the honesty, the justice, the fidelity, and the wisdom of that leader 1 No; rather let us give no indications of weakness or division among ourselves, but uniting, all, for our country and for liberty, let us rally around the pilot who has thus far guided us in safety. In response to the cry that comes from the rebels at Biohmond, "anybody but Lincoln," let us reply, " nobody but Lincoln I " until liberty triumphs, and national unity is restored.

Ue xday emancipate and arm slaves, arrest and confine danjzer- 0113 public enemies, to prevent tho execution of treasonable designs; and suppress for the time treasonable publications; all this to be dono under tho rules of wr and the legitimate powers vested in tho Executive of carrying on war against public enemies atid traitors. It ib his duly also to see that the constitutional guaranteo of ft republican form of government under the Federal Union shall he carried out. In the absence of the action of Congress, he may do nil that it may bo necessary to carry out these purposes. Ho may appoint military gov ernors. He may levy and collect taxes and assesimonts. Ha may institute temporary tribunals lo administer justice. He may preserve the penoe, prevent anarchy, and sioo that justice is done to all. In a word, he may and must govern the country in its transition state from a rebel to a loyal oon- lition, or until Long res a provides by law for its government, or until the people organize loyal Slate frovernmonts aud are readmitted into the Union. These principles are sanctioned by the Supreme Court in ihe California oaso. so often cited in this House. Theso powerB or most of them the Presi dent has exercised in Louisiana, in Arkansas, and in Tennessee. Ho has done this under tlie advice and with the aid of such men ft4 Andrew Johuson, Generals Butler and Itaukti; and the results are beginning tho people of these Btates to return to the Union. WHAT ABB THE POWERS OF COIN U BESS? Congress may and ought to paB all laws which may be necessary to carry into effect tho lKiwcr lodged in th Executive to admin ister fur tho time being the foverumont of tlie torntory in rebellion. Congress may regulate the muuu of administration. It may control tho method of governing the t territory. Each House ul Congress has the i exclusive power to determine and iudge of the election, return, and qualifications of its own members, ana may of eourso determine when to admit or reject representatives from the rebel States. 1 think it requires tho concurrent notion of both tho Kxeoutive and Congress for complete restoration of rebel and revolted States into the Union, TUB AMNESTY PROCLAMATION. The President, In oomniunicttling the am nesty proclamation to Congress, invites the aid. counsel, and co-operation of Congress In restoring national unity. This proclamation of amnesty looks to the reestablish-ment of loyal State governments in the rebel territory on the basis of freedom. It offers peace on the surrender by the rebels or tne cause oi mo war tiavery, i'rnctt oally it is already dissolving the rebel or- ganiiation. Hundreds of rebel soldiers are daily bringing in and laying down their anus anu accepting tne terms of pardon, The adjutage of this proclamation are the Government has offered to the rebels peace and good wilt, and upon the sole con dition that they should lay down thmr arms. This otter has been met with miorn and de fiance. The President nowofl'ers peace ud- tho condition that the insurgents submit and give up slavery. They are asked to abandon that whioh has been a curse alike to them, to us, to all. Humanity and Chris tianity pray that these humane, generous, magnanimous terms may he accepted. This cruel war will not stop; this rebellion will never.be sanctioned as revolution. The loyal people of the United States, if these terms are rejected, will demand that the diseased limb be amputated. They have hem very slow to anger, but tbey are now thoroughly aroused, aud it wilt aoon be difficult to appease their just rage. The loyal people preferred peace to war, but they are rapidly acquiring a taste for war's fierce excitements and its duszling glory., They are an indomitable race of men, the descendants of those who conquered England, Ireland and Scotlund, and who have ihemselves never been conquered. Ou this continent they have conquered the forests, subduml the Indian tribes and wrested from England their independence. If driven lo it, they will exterminate the soft, pampered, sensual, slave aristocracy which make up the rebel leaders. The time is rapidly approaching whoa the loyal people will say to the rebels, "We have tried to conciliate yom we have offered you terms; you rejeot them with scorn; you hate and defy us; you refuse any terms of peace. Be it so. We accept the issue. We will treat you as enemies; wo will conquer you, and liberating your slaves we will divide your lauds among ihoiu, the pour whites and our brave soldiers. Henceforth you aro sub- jeois, uo longer to be treated as citienns. The President does not yet Bay tins; on tho ooutrary, his treatment is lo-dny as it has been from tho beginning, generous, Immune and msgoauimous, such as is becom- ug the head ot a great and Christian na tion. Ho oners poaoe ou tho conditions that the rebels submit, givo up slavery, and accept frcodom. He offers the blessings of rinn.ee una proMperity, only requiring the surrender of that terrible oil ran, which has brought upon us and them all the horrors of his war. is slav Kit y naxn? Tlio distinguished gentleman from New Yurlt. r.Mr. lirooks, I produced a creut sen sation the olhor day by announcing that la very was already doad. i uo not know whether we were so muoh startled by the fact, as that that gentleman should be the rst lo announce it. Like some others who lag far bohind in the chase, he seemed determined to be in ut the death. But I am not yet wilting to admit the fact that sla very is dead. I rejoice to know that it is n a dying condition, but it lias not yet i veu up the ghost. Lot tne "Jiml-bpUtttr of Illinois give the cursed monstur a few more vigorous blows, and make its destruction certain. Possibly the gentleman from New York might havu been pluying a game familiar to western hun-tors; he, or the institution which lie leclaros dead, might have been play- nr- pottum. But to assume a tone more becoming a subject so grave, let me remind he geutleman from rsow York, who is a scholar, and familiar with history, that iu tbe days cf Oliver Cromwell it was supposed monarchy was doad in England. Yet but a few years passed by, and Charles the ecund was on the throne of Lntrianu, and monarchy in full sway, stronger apparently ban bo I ore the . execution of Charles the irst. God Dave our country from the re turn of the slnve kings. God save us from ever seeing the destinies of this nation pass again into Iho hands or slave mongers. Therefore I am for taking security for the future by immediately abolishing tlavrry, and amending the Constitution prohibiting its existence forevwr in tvery part of the L'nioti. Btit if slavery is indeed dead, why do not its friends, those who have stood by it, in sunshine and in storm, why do they not now pronounce its eulogy? It wis a kin or in the lund. It wa:' a ruler in those Halls, and lord paramount in yonder Executive Mansion. If dead, where are itB friends and mourners? If your idol is dead, is it not decent for you at least to seoiu to mourn? But, Mr. Chairman, this great revolution is not yet ended. Would to God it were. The storm still rages; dangnrs and diflicul-tics still overshadow tlie future. Much remains to bo done, to subdue rebut armiori, to maiutain national credit, to hold the loyal people united, to preterve liberty and law, and reconstruct the edifice of constitutional liberty. A task is before us, taxing to the utmost, all we have of skill and bravery in tho field; of wisdom and integrity, and patriotism and statesmanship in the cabinet, before we can feel that our country "hat weaihered tlu storm," and "all is wetl.'' Our greatest danger arises from insaue divisions among ourselves. With Lincoln at the helm of State, with Grant commanding our armies, and Chase, holding the scarcely Ions difficult and responsible position at the head of the Treasury, and a cordial union of the friends of those great leaders and all loyal men, our suocess is certain. training of the schools; it was better.

LINCOLN TUB APOHTLK OV LIDBHTV. It is his missiou to restore national unity, on the basis of universal liberty. He is to lead Uie people through this revolution and preservo the old safeguard of freedom oin-bodied in Mucna Charta and the Constitu tion of the United States. When ho leaves the Presidential chair in 1869, we are to be one people, one nation, and every man secured in the enjoyment of "lite, liberty, and tho pursuit of happiness. Every man equal before tho law. Every man en-loving liberty of speech, the freedom of the press, tral by jury, and the writ of Harnp Vurpui. WHO VfBRB HIS COM 1'HTl TORS ? Some twenty years ago, there gathered around the plain, pine tables of the frontier court-houses of central Illinois a very re markable combination of men. Among mem. unu conceumiy tueir leader, was Abraham Lincoln; Stephen A. Douglas, his great political rival; Lyman Trumbull, chairman of the judiciary committee of the Son-ate; E. I). Baker, the able, the eloquent senator, soldier, and martyr to liberty; Gen. James Shields, who won a high reputation at Washington, and on the battlefields of Mexico; Gen. John J. Hardin, an able and eloquent lawyer, who fell on the bloody field of Buena Vista; James A. Mc-Bougal, the present Senator from California; William A. Hiohardson, present Senator from Illinois, and Gen. John A. Mc-Cloarnand, now in the field. Besides theso was the late Gov. Bisselt, whose manly vindication of the bravery of the Illinois vol-! un leers in Mexico, against the aspersions of Jefferson Davis, will bo well remembered; a vindication which resulted in a challengo from the t raitor Davis, which was accepted by I UI8SPU, nut irom wmcn uavis backed down, it. is BaLd undor the advice of Gen. Taylor. These men, of national reputation, and others equally able, but whoso pursuits have been 'confined at bomp. wero the oompetU tors with Lincoln. These were the men in coutest with whom Abraham Lincoln was trained for the terrible ordeal through whioh he is passing. t-0NTi;SX BETWEKV LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS. The contest between Lincoln and Douglas, iu 1S58, was the most remarkable in Amerioan history. They were the acknowl edged leaders, each of his party. Both, men of great and marked individuality of character, ine prize was, tue benatorship of the great btate of Illinois, and tho success of the Republican or Ue moo ratio party. Duuglas had the additional stimulont of the Presidency in view. These two trained leaders mot, at designated places, and in tho presence of immense orowds ot people, debated tue great questious at issue. Douglas went through this campaign like a conquering hero, tie had his special train of oars, hs bund of musio, his bodyguard of devoted fiieuds, a cannon carried on the train, the firing from which announced bis approach to the plaoe of meeting. Such a canvas involved, necessarily, very large expenditures, and it has been said that Douglass did not expend less than $50,000 In this canvass. Some idea of tbe plain, simple, frugal habits of Mr. Lincoln may be gathered, when 1 toll you that at its olose, having occupied several months, Mr. Lincoln said, with tho idea, apparently, that ho had been somewhat extravagant. "I do not believe I have spent a cent loss than five hundred dollars in this oanvass. Senator Douglas was at that time the loading debater in the United States Senate. Ho had been accustomed to meet fur years in Congress the trained leaders of the na tion, and nevor, cithor in single combat, or taking the tire or a whole party, bad he been discomfited. He was bold, defiant, confident, aggressive; tortile in resources, terrible in denunciation, familiar with political history, practiced in all controversial discussion, of indomitable physical and moral courage, and unquestionably the most formidable man in the nation on the stump. Tho friends of Mr Lincoln were not without misgivings when the ohallenge was given and accepted for a campaign with Douglas, on the stump. Mr. Lincoln was cool, candid, truthful, logical, never betrayed Into an nn fair statement; and it was wonderful how, iu these discussions, as in every other aot of his public life, he has Impress" ! the peoplo with hiB honesty and fairness. Every hearer ol theso debates went away with the conviction, whatever his political views, "Lincoln believes what he says, he is candid, and he would not misstate a fact, or take an unfair advantage to secure a triumph." He had on? advantage over Douglas. He was always good-humored. He had always his apt story fur illustration, and while Duuglas was sometimes irritable, and would lose his temper, Liuooln never lost his. Douglas carried away tbe most popular anDlause. but Lincoln made the deeper and more lasting impression. Douglasdid uot disdain an immediate triumph, while Lincoln lnnlced to Dormanent conviction. Lhmgias addressed the feelings and prejudices with a power and adroitness never surpassed. Lincoln stated his propositions aud proved their truth with irresistible logic Dnug-las carried the majority of the Leg islature of Illinois, but Lincoln uaa tue majority of the popular vote. Douglas secured the Sontitorship, and Lincoln gained the Presidency. The wondoriui endurance of these men, both of Iron constitutions, was strikingly manifest during this contest.

The country will not furaet the ten anions adherence of the President to Orant whan nearly all seemed to desert him. True, this trait in his character, this pertinsoious sd-herence to those he trusts, was, I think, carried too far in the long continuance in tha service or the hero ot I hickahominy. The President could not convert th hero ef tha BUHABKAllLK rHKDIUTlON OF DOUOLAS IN JAN- 1MHY, lttOl. Here I will pause a moment to state a most remarkable prediction made by Doug las in January, lbbl. Iho statement is lu lushed to me by General C. B. StuwarL ol New Tork, a geutlcmau of tho highest re spectability. Douglas was asked by Colonel Stewart, (who wus making a INow lears call uu Mr Douglas,) "What will be the result of the eflorts ot jeuerson imvisand his associates to divide tho Uuiou?' Douglas replied, "The cotton States are making an etturt to draw in the border States lo their schemes of secession, and I am too fearful they will succeed. If they do succeed, there will be the most terrible civil war the world lias ever seen, lasting for years. Virginia will oooome a enamel iioune; but the end will be tho triumph of the Uuion cause. Ouo ol thoir first ctl'oris will be to take possession of this capital io give them prestige abroad, but (hey will never succeed in taking it; the North will rise en mats to defend it; but it will become a ciiy ot uotmitalt; the churches will be used for the sick aud wounded; and even this house and the Minnesota block (now the Doualas Iospital) may be devoted to that purpuse before the end or the war." uenerai Stewart euqirea "What justification is there for all this?'' Douglas replied, "There is no justification nor any pretence of any. If they will remain iu the Union I will go aa fur as the Constitution will permit to maintain their just rights, and I do not doubt but a majori ty of Lougiess win uo-nue same. jw, said he, rising on his feet and extending hiB arm, "if the southern States uttempt to secede from this Union without further cause, I am in favor of their having just so many slaves, and just sfrmuch slavetcrri-ti-iy, as they can hold at the point of tlie bayonet ami no more.-On the 4th of March thereafter, surround ed by spies and traitors, tlie treasury robbed, the army and navy dispersed, knowing scarcely who to trust, the President, took possession of the White House, and entered upon his duties. On ono side the Capitol .was Virsiuia, with her disloyal militia guarding the Long Bridge, ripe for revolt, and ready from tlie heights of Arlington and tho Potomac to bombard tho Capitol. Detween it aud the loyal Suites lay Maryland, ready to riBO. in arms the moment tho rebel nag wns unfurled ; nay not waiting for this, but rising aud burning bridges, tearing up railways, and murdering Union soldiers on their way to deteud Washington. The seat of Government was thus isolated iu the midst of a hostile people. Couaress had ad journed, and the late of the nation and of liberty rested upou the 1 resident, lie was equal to tho occasion. He was wise as he was tirm. lie Bavcd the capital and he preserved the nation. Contrast tho condition of our country then and now, witb more than bait tbe territory then in rebellion re claimed, aud deny if you can that Abra ham Lincoln has high administrative pow-erB. It has been wetl said of him iu view of his administration, remembering the past and looking to the future, "ihe people kuow the necessities of the hour and appreciate the man who is at ihe helm. Thy trust him. By masterly action and by mas terly inaotioD, this Sagt a id hero from the tho back woods has emmindcd tho entire confidence of a great people; of a people the most intellectual aud torciblo upon the earth." It is not my purpose to speak in detail ol the acta of this administration. Tluro ere a few general considerations iu regard to tt, to whioh 1 ask the oaudid cousiaoraiion oi the countvv. First, our forelgu relation, f(,w will deny, have been mana'rd with ability and success throuah a period of extreme diffi culty and danger. Whatever exception and criticism may justly uu made upon par- ticuur dispatches, the result has bten peace. and non-iutervention. aud thus far, the couutry is sat is tied that a cool, wiso and sa gacious beau is at the helm. 1 lie govern ment has been so administered as lo secure the substantial union and harmony of the Inval people ot all parties. This has been done timidbt all the passionate excitementand turbulent tooling jrrowtngoutot civil war. It has been accomplished, during a period iu uiou tue President has necessarily cxer- i oised the extraordinary power of summary arrests, suspension of tbe Haieae uorpu, and the suppression or disloyal and treasonable publications by military power, all of (hem nets whiuh could not hut receive' the most searching scrutiny, of a peoplo like oms, bo jealous of their liberties. YcC the great mass ot the people have tclt perteot conti nence in the iutcgrily and patriotism aim Chiokahominy inio the hero of ihe Missis- sippi; but this same uiiNtvioteristic. it h rtu suited in many reversta to the Army of the t'otomac, has given us Vioksbum and Look out Mountain, and will, I trust, ere lanv. secure our complete triumph over the rebel armies. But to return to the proclamation. It haa been objected to this proclamation, that it di-1 not embrace all the territory in rebellion. For myself, I have always regretted that It did not include all the States in re volt. But I believe tbe truth is, this waa he remit of the advice of loval men of tha border States. For iustanoe, I believe that he man most influential ia preventing the great State of Tennessee from being designated in this paper was the patriot and statesman, Andrew Johnson; aud I believe to-day he regrets more than any other roan, imr. it was tett out. rot, who wiu blame he President for listening with deference to he advice of Andrew Johuson in regard to Tennesaee? The employment of negro soldiers needs to-day no vindication. All sanotion and pnrove it, and they themselves are gal lantly fighting their way to the favor of the country. ihe amnesty proclamation, although as sailed by easily ists and politicians, is work- g out practically us own vindication. Hundreds of rebel soldiers are daily bring- g in, and laying down their arms, lu e wost it is dissolving tbe rebel armies. Undor its influcnoe, Louisiana, Tennesxoe, unu Arkansas, will soon return as free States. The da' that sees these States again iu the Union as free, loyal States, witl seethe beginning of the end of this bellton. Under tho innuenos of this proclamation, with such changes as experi ence may suggest, or as Congress may establish, or sanction, we may hope to see the rebel territory all restored, and our great country redeemed frum the ourseof slavery. imruutyasa loynt people may be expressed in four worue, for three of which f havo to thuuk my friend from Maine (Mr. l'lKCj. vi e must unite, JMn, tax. ana eman cipate. But let us not disguiso from ourselves that the cututng year is one fu'l of peril. The danger is not all iu the direotiou from which it is most apprehended. A nation without a government is, as Alexander Hamilton snld, "an awful spectacle."There are dangerous elements in our midst and a presidential election in (he mid fat of a civil war, vill try the oapaoity of the people for self-government as tbey have never been tried before We are iu the midst of rushing torrents of opinion and passion dangerous, aud difficult to control. We are tossing on the billows of a raging sea. Anxious friends of liberty are every whero asking, will the great American Republic strand for want of order and rulo l Confidence in our success has been continually increasing. Is it wise to change our leader in the midst of this storm, and while alt the world is admiring the honesty, the justice, the fidelity, and the wisdom of that leader 1 No; rather let us give no indications of weakness or division among ourselves, but uniting, all, for our country and for liberty, let us rally around the pilot who has thus far guided us in safety. In response to the cry that comes from the rebels at Biohmond, "anybody but Lincoln," let us reply, " nobody but Lincoln I " until liberty triumphs, and national unity is restored.
